We all want our children to thrive, to be happy and healthy and to reach their potential. To do this they need the best possible start in life. Aspire Foundation Early Years will support children and families to achieve this.

We provide early education across Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, with two new settings due to open soon in the Stroud and Dursley area. We offer children stimulating and exciting environments, rich in learning experiences.

Our settings are warm and nurturing, providing care and high-quality resources including staff who are highly trained in developing children’s communication and language skills.

We give children the opportunity to have fun, explore and follow their own interests, building on what they already know.

We provide a welcoming and nurturing environment, with opportunities for children to gain a sense of independence and belonging, allowing them to flourish in our care. We offer play-based activities indoors and outdoors linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Your child’s progress will be monitored, developed and encouraged so that they are ready for their move to school when the time comes. We use the online learning journal Tapestry.

We work closely in partnership with parents and carers and will support you to be actively involved in your child’s learning.

Sessions are available for children aged from 2-4 years, mornings and afternoons and ‘School days’ from Monday to Friday during term time.

All children are eligible for 15 hours of funded Early Education the term after their 3rd birthday. Some children are eligible for Achieving Two-year-old (A2YO) funding based on their circumstances or family income.
